Publisher's Synopsis
Primitive Christianity in Ireland: A Letter to Thomas Moore (1840) is a historical book written by Henry Joseph Monck Mason. The book explores the early Christian history of Ireland, focusing on the period between the arrival of St. Patrick in the 5th century and the arrival of the Normans in the 12th century. Mason argues that the early Irish Church was characterized by a unique blend of Roman and Celtic Christianity, which resulted in a distinctive form of Christianity that was both deeply spiritual and highly practical. The book also examines the role of the Irish monastic movement in preserving and spreading Christianity throughout Europe during the Dark Ages. Mason's letter to Thomas Moore, the Irish poet and songwriter, provides a personal touch to the book and adds to its charm. Overall, Primitive Christianity in Ireland is an insightful and engaging read for anyone interested in the early history of Christianity in Ireland.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
